Arkles Public House[edit]

I am also adding Black Bull Public House, Hare and Hounds Public House, and West Derby Public House. They have the same content.

It's a pub, and it's a listed building. The latter might warrant an article, but without any sort of further information we have a useless article. If expanded to indicate what's special about it it might be a keeper. There must be over a thousand listed buildings in Liverpool alone, most of which don't have articles. I don't see the point of this one. -R. fiend 18:53, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, listed buildings. Kappa 19:58, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know how much you know about listing buildings in the UK, but there are 1,471 listed buildings in Liverpool alone [1]. I would propose that only buildings with a grade 1 listing are notable enough for inclusion purely on this basis. If they are grade 2 or 2*, they should require further evidence of notability.

  - Buildings are listed because they are of special architectural interest, ie they are notable. Kappa 23:24, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - There are over 500,000 listed buildings in the UK. Are you really suggesting that every one of them is notable enough to include in an encyclopedia? Bobbis 23:36, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      - Only if that encylopedia was not paper. Kappa 23:51, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all. There must be thousands of pubs in the UK, many in grade 2 listed buildings. I doubt more than a few dozen of them are notable and these are aren't. Bobbis 20:10, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Grade II listeds aren't notable. Dunc|☺ 20:14, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Perhaps Listed buildings in Liverpool should be considered also, under the criteria that WP is not an indiscriminate collection of information. I would vote a weak delete on this page. See Listed buildings in Birmingham for an example of how this should be done, IMHO. Bobbis 21:41, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; Wikipedia is not a travel guide. Fernando Rizo T/C 22:33, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete being Grade II listed is nothing unusual and being a pub is positively mundane; so mundane it reduces any sliver of notability that might be conferred if it were in a particularly notable Grade II building. It basically just means it was built before about 1860ish and didn't get bombed or burnt down. Yet. -Splash 01:21, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, but anticipating that once every crapulent little school in the world has been added to wikipedia, regardless of its notability (or lack thereof), pubs may as well be next. Proto t c 11:35, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Listed buildings, and yes I know how many there are. Dsmdgold 15:54, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
Delete these as they stand. Without further exposition, they're pointless to keep. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 00:04, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
